Importing GB files into logic 9

Can anyone help me with how to import Garageband 3.0.4 (104.7) files into Logic 9. From the Apple websites I understood that it is a simple step but I have difficulty getting it done. Does anyone know how to do this?

You either right-click (Control-click) on the filename and choose Open with LE9 or In LE9 use File -> Open -> browse to file and choose it (or double-click it)

When I export a AAF file from Protools 9 and Import the file into Logic ProX the drum track is out of sync. I created the drum loop using NI Maschine. Has anyone else seem this??

When I export an AAF file/project from Protools 9 using an external drive and import the AAF into Logice Pro X the drum track does not play correctly. It is out of sync with the rest of the track. I created the drum loop as a plugin using Native Instruments Maschine. Has anyone else had this problem?? Also how would I go about exporting the midi tracks from the Protools session. The midi track does not show when the file is imported to Logic Pro X. The midi data should export with the AAF file correct??

Are you using any plugins in Logic?
In Preferences/Audio under the General tab, how do you have the plug-in-latency compensation set?

Importing AAF files into Logic Pro 7.1

Hello All:
Have got a number of song sequences that are in the AAF format, complete with associated audio .aif sound files in the same folder.
These AAF files were created on another Logic pro studio, as they had to export them from Pro Tools into AAF .
i am able to IMPORT the sequence arrange with requisite tracks set up, but when the audio files attempt to load, i am prompted by the finder to MANUALLY locate each audio file to enable it to place into the Logic arrange page correctly.
I get the "where is the file"xxxxxB4Wrww.aif" type message, and can see the actual file located in the finder window, but it won't just locate them automatically.
It takes a loooong time to search out in the list each file and then click DONE to enter it!
Then repeat for EACH file name.....jeez.
One song has 78 audio files associated with it!
A local tech guy in a MAC software dealership said this was a continuing problem he had also with AAF in Logic 7.....
Any hints, before i spend 4 mind numbing hours hand-locating
these frikkin files?
Thank you in advance!

Hi All,
I've recently been having problems importing MP3 files into the arrange window. I thought I changed a setting and can't figure out what's up? Also I haven't been able to change my sampling rate to 48K or more. Mind you, I'm in transition right now moving to a different continent and my external drive is stored away so I'm playing and importing from my OS drive.Is that the issue??
Thanks,
Francisco
Hi Francisco.
Please re-post this as a NEW question. I just went over my last few posts, and here you are, and NO ONE has answered your question in three days. That is not usually the case in this forum.
Cheers
PS please give some details, what actually happens with the mp3 files? what is the actual problem? And also, what sound card / interface are you using?

Can't import .rx2 files into Logic 9 (64 bit)

Well I've followed all the instructions in Logic's Help function and I cannot get it to import .rx2 files in 64 bit mode.
I have downloaded and installed the REX Shared Library 1.6 application, but dragging and dropping from the Finder doesn't work, neither does using the Import or Import Audio menu commands.
It works fine in 32 bit mode, but not in 64 bit.
Anyone else having the same problem?

Well, when the people that make Rewire, and all the people that make the other third-party software release and update their code for 64-bit, you'll have them back.
That's hardly Apple's fault - Apple are pushing the 64-bit curve in order to, eh, politely shove these people into getting 64-bit versions released.
Until then, if you rely on such third-party code, don't go 64-bit until all your third-party software is 64-native and fully compatible.

Sync Problems - Importing Garageband FIles Into Logic Studio 8

Hi Guys,
I was wondering if anyone can PLEASE HELP?!!
I'm having a real headache when I open my Garageband files in Logic Studio 8 - most of the real instrument tracks end up out of sync with the software tracks!!
For example, I opened a song in Logic 8 (mostly Apple loops/beats & software synths - but with some rhythm guitar parts and bass) and the guitars and bass are a few beats in front of the rest of the song.
The same thing happens (sometimes) with the vocal tracks too...
It's become a real nightmare for me - I'm due to go into a professional studio in a few weeks time to start mixing my (Garageband) songs (in Logic). Aaaargh! Pressure!
A previous advisor kindly advised me that I may be exhausting my Mac's processing capabilities.
However, I use an iMac (250GB, 3GB of RAM, 2.16GHz Intel Core Duo). It's only around 1 year old - so I'm sure it should be man enough for the job.
However, the studio I am using to mix my album have the latest up-to-date MacPro's - and when they open the Garageband files I've supplied to them (on dvd) in Logic 8....they are having the same problem. The tracks are out of sync...
I've supplied them with both the Garageband files (as an exported project) and the imported Logic 8 version...
I just don't get it.
The songs play okay in Garageband. (Ok, I get the occasional processor warnings....so I lock the tracks, problem solved).
I'n not using any fancy plug-ins.
I don't have any other applications running.
I'm not sure what the RPM of my iMac hard drive is (can anyone advise me how I can find this out please?) but I'm sure that can't be an issue either....
If anyone can please help, I'll be so grateful.
I've been working on my album for 11 months now - and I'm about to go into the studio to mix it in late August.....and after all my hard work, I'd be so relieved if anyone can help me avert a catastrophe!
Many thanks folks (in advance) if you can help.....

And it's the same in Logic?
Also, if you have plugins on the main output or busses - what is your PDC setting in your audio prefs? Make sure it's set to "All".
Yes, it's the same in Logic (44.100).
No sure about PDC settings etc as I am not familiar with Logic.
However, I'm not using any plug-ins - and when I check under Logic/preferences/audio/general - "Plug in delay" is set to "Compensation: All"
(Sorry to sound like a novice, but as I mentioned in my original post, I'm not familiar with Logic........but the studio where I'm taking my album to be mixed is)!

HI, I am having trouble when importing .wav files into logic.

Everytime I import this .wav file of a DJ set i recorded, it shows me the waveform but no sound comes out when its played. I have tried converting the bitrate to 16bit and the filetype to aiff as I saw it had helped people with similar problems but when i do this its boosts the gain massivly and the recrding becomes very distored? Really dont know what to try??
Also the reason I am trying to get the Wav in was bevause i need to normalise it as it had to be recorded very quitely to avoid distortion on the recording. I recorded it by using the imput on the back of my monitors as they are usb, and th programme i used to record it is "audio recorder tool" from the app store
Thanks for your help, Joe

I think the problem is you're recorded 32-bit wav files which Logic doesn't support.
(don't convert to aiff, unless you have the right program, that understands converting little endian 32 bit wavs to big endian aiff format, you will get distortion)
I think your best bet is to download "Audacity" the free audio editor and convert to 24-bit WAV files. Re-save the audio file under a different name after converting. In Audacity this is done using the Export function, selecting other non-compressed formats.
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/mac
The reason you want 24-bit WAVs to work with is you're going to be raising the volume of the file, 24-bit files will suffer less damage when editing with plugins, normalizing...etc.

Importing .pst files into Logic

I have downloaded ES2 presets that are mostly .pst files. I was wondering how do I get them into Logic and more specifically the ES2 menu? When I click on them I get the 'ol "There is no default application to open the specified document..." I also tried dragging files into ES2 library and drop down menu. What's next?

Hi
Logic presets and Channel Strips can 'live' in 2 places:
Either:
Library:Application Support:Logic:Plug-In Settings
Library:Application Support:Logic:Channel Strip Settings
Or
<User>:Library:Application Support:Logic:Plug-In Settings
<User>:Library:Application Support:Logic:Channel Strip Settings
Note that there are sub-folders inside each!.

Problems Importing earlier files into Logic 8

Hey Folks,
I have had problems opening up previous versions of logic in Logic espress 8. the files will either open with vesion 6 or version 7 and I can not import the files when I have version 8 open. Has anyone else had these issues?
Thanks

sorry, I forgot to mention that it's Cakewalk Music Creator 5, which is on a PC. I am not familiar with Music Creator but am with Logic.
That sounds like pretty old software... your best bet is to get all of the audio files saved as full length files, from beginning to end.
You will have to see what options for exporting audio that program has. I doubt if it can save OMF files so either Broadcast Wav or full length audio files are going to be your best bet.

Can't import audio files into Logic Pro

I have some original compositions previously recorded on a Windows PC that I want to work on in Logic Pro. However, despite converting them to .raw, mp3, apple tiff and having the original file as. Wav, Logic Pro doesn’t recognise them; they’re all greyed out when I try to import or open, even though they play ok in I-tunes? How can I resolve this?

.raw is not recognized by Apple. What format is this? Is this an audio file format?
.mp3... well, if you like that kind of degraded sound...
.tiff is an IMAGE file format. Whatever made you think this would work?
I think you have renamed the file extensions one too many times...and the Apple machine is confused. Try starting over.
Also, try to look at the info pane for each file, and make SURE it is seen as a .wav file AND that the file is set to read / write, not locked.

Imported 1h 20m file into Logic Pro 7.1.1.it Became Unstable

Imported an hour and twenty minute file into logic, and it became really unstable. i tried to cut the region up, and save the clips as differnt files, but it wouldn't let me stopped playing the file after a certain bar (bar 57).
is this normal behavior?

Try trashing Logic prefs. (Or move to desktop to re-import keycommands)

$5 Starbucks card to first successful answer: how to import midi timecode into Logic Express 9 from Roland VS-880 or Ensoniq ASR-10

I will literally mail a $5 Starbucks card or gift $5 via paypal to the first person whose response gets me success. Then after all responses are provided and I'm successful with my issue, I'll also raffle off $5 to one of ALL respondents by random pick.
Problem/question:
I can't figure out how to import midi timecode data from either an Ensoniq ASR-10 or Roland VS-880 Vxpanded into Logic Express 9, so I can then use Logic Express 9 as the master. No manuals seem to explain that; I just can't find it.
Background/basics:
1. My ultimate goal will be to move all midi data from the Ensoniq ASR-10 floppies and all digital audio files from the VS-880 into Logic Express 9. Once the midi timing is imported into a Logic Express 9 file, I'll import the data from the Ensoniq & Roland via steps 2a & 2b below.
1a. Ten years ago I somehow (am in the process of re-learning what I did 10 years ago) imported the midi timing into the Roland VS-880 Vxpanded from the ASR-10, and then used the VS-880 as the Master to control the ASR-10. So my current status is that I use the Roland VS-880 as the master, and the Ensoniq ASR-10 as the slave.
2. FYI for anyone who might be in the same boat, wanting to transfer stuff from an Ensoniq ASR-10 and Roland VS-880 to the computer:
2a. I will import all midi sequence data from my ASR-10 floppy disks via a utility purchased here, which will all a PC to read Ensoniq-formatted disks, and then just hopefully cut/paste midi files into Logic Express 9 (FYI only): www.chickensys.com
2b. Then will import all the individual WAV files from my Roland VS-880 to Logic Express 9 using a method learned here (FYI only): http://www.vsplanet.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=985974&PHP SESSID=b1d2f57be4a1d37d49787400213b22df
2c. I'll then combine them all into Logic Express 9.
So - how the heck do I capture/import the midi timecode into Logic from either the roland or ensoniq using midi?
I'm don't think that cutting/pasting the midi data into a Logic Express 9 sequence file (step 2a above) will do that, because there are all kinds of tempo & time signature changes in the midi files unfortunately.
THANK YOU and Merry Christmas!!
Andy

OK doesn't look possible. Closing discussion.

Importing Stereo files in Logic

I am trying to import stereo interleaved audio files into Logic Pro 9. When I do, the stereo files import as mono files and won't play. Is there any way around this, or is Logic only designed for mono files? This does not seem logical, although maybe it's because I have not yet been initiated into the cult.
There is also an interesting thing in that for some reason in my version of Logic, when you mute a track from the mixer, it does not light the M button in the Arrange window, and vice versa. Is this the way it was designed or have I accidentally hit a wrong and destroyed my ability to ever mix in Logic again....

Stereo files import as stereo files for more than 99.99 % of Logic users, so... make sure you have Universal Track Mode enabled in the coreaudio preferences.
Also in the preferences there is a setting to make the mute (and solo) buttons in the Mixer and Arrange independent of eachother or to link them to eachother.
Logic Pro>Preferences>Audio>General
set Track Mute/Solo to Fast (Remote Channel Strips) (=linked).
The names of both those settings could be more obvious though (like Linked vs Independent or something like that).
O, and it is not a cult, not even remotely. Logic is being used by all religions, and also by atheïsts.
I adore Logic, but I would never worship it.

How to Import XML file into SAP B1

Dear All,
I have a scenario like,
I am receiving a XML file from a 3rd party application for the daily Creation,Update of Item Master,BP Master, Marketing Documents. I want to import this file into SAP B1 through its approp objects. I understand DTW has limitation in its file types (Semicolo,Tab,Comma,ODBC). How do i do this ? Please guide me.
Thanks,
Thanga Raj K

Hy folks,
I´m frim Brasil and I've been studying the tool EFM (Eletronic File Manager) to learn more about it!
There I saw that we can extract to XML "any" infomation from the database we want, mainly through the GEP.
However, as I've seen, this Add-On can not import any XML file into SBO, unless for the BFP wich can be imported in conjunction with the BTHF Add-on.
So I ask: how is it possible to import XML data into SBO database? Is it possible to be done through the EFM? or it´s really necessary to write a code specifically to do that?
Besides, I know that de B1iSN fit to this necessity... but when I tried to use it, by the custom "object" for BP, for example, there are some data wich the mapping conteined in this custom "process" that can not be imported... I tried to understand how to map those other fields not imported by the custom but this has been dificult to me as I am a implementation consultant focused in administrative process not on development...
Could you please help me with this subject!
Thanks a lot,
Denis

Problem importing ics files into iCal

Importing ics files into iCal is the problem, but first here is the background on why I'm trying to import.
I have an iMac and iPad, and recently changed my iPhone 3G for an iPhone 4S. Having got the iPhone 4S I have now set up all my devices to use iCloud. In moving iCal to iCloud an extra calendar was created "automatically" in iCal, called "Me". This "Me" calendar contains a partial duplicate of my main calendar, which is called "My Calendar". In fact, some of the events from "My Calendar" seem to have been moved to "Me", and some have been duplicated.
It seems as it I now need to merge the "Me" and "My calendar" calendars to get back to where I was.
I have tried to export one of the calendars and then re-import it into the other. The export seems to work fine, but every single time I try to re-import the ics file iCal crashes at the end of the import process, and the import is not completed.
Can anyone help? This has been driving me absolutely crazy today!
I even tried manually moving events from one calendar to another, but they reappeared. I think this was because my iPhone/iPad were re-syncing via iCloud and overwriting the changes I had just made.
I don't mind if I end up with one calendar with duplicates as I can remove them with iCal Dupe Deleter.
Or if there are any other alternative solutions I'd love to hear them!
All help greatly appreciated!
(P.S. Is it just me, or is Apple software slowly getting as unreliable as Windows used to be? I get more problems with software updates now than when I first got a Mac about 8 years ago!)

Not a great answer but I dragged the attachment either to the finder - app - ical or the icon. It placed it on the calendar. I clicked in and accepted. So, no auto populate. Need to drag and drop. So glad I paid the 20 bucks to upgrade to 10.8
